AFRAID OF PROHIBITION.

a real estate dealer of Grand Forks
Dakota, advertises a long list Of prop
critics for sale at reduced prices, and
declares that the reduction is due to the
adoption of prohibition, 1t is also
said that local option will
drive many people from the Territory
and some of the newspapers claim that
the growth and development of Dakota
will bell realty retarded by the temper
snce wave. AS prohibition has never
prohibited in any country, although ii
has been declared and attempted
in many, the wisdom of further
efforts to enforce it may be
doubted; but that efforts 10 suppress
the liquor traffic are injurious to COM
rnunitv it is ridiculous to charge. The
People who will leave Dakota on account
of The local option law will. be the
saloon keepers and those who derive
business from the whisky trade, and
their departure will not affect injuri-
ously the welfare of the Territory. II
there could be an assurance that no
whisky would be sold in Dakota hun
dred families would remove to the Ter.
ritory for every one that left, and the
hundred would be by long odds the
better class OF people. Saloon-keepera

where there is one of this Kind there is

thriftless, unenterprising and sadly in

unlawful TO sell into1icants, could hard.

town will be better off without him.

THE New YORK Times and Tribune
and the Union League Club are trying
to correct an evil in the matter of cleo
ton expenses and to prevent the waste
of money. At the late election in that
city something like 100000 ballots
were printed, only small percentage of
which were deposited in the boxes. The
ballots were distributed by 36.450 men,
detailed for the. work by the re
spective party managers, the expense
being paid from the party finds. 1t is
suggested that much of this waste can
be prevented by the State controlling
the printing and distributing of ballots.

SENATOR PLArT, of Connecticut, Is q
rank Republican; but he appears to
possess some common sense ideas which
elevate him above a good many mem
bers of his party. Referring to the
current talk that the Senate will reject
Lamar's nomination to the Supreme
bench because he took prominent part
on the wrong side in the war
OF the Rebellion, Mr.. Platt
says nothing could be more preposter-
Gus or improbable than that the Senate
would oppose the nomination on any
such ground. Says the Senator: The
war was pad one, but is over, and the
Senate might as well object to cand;-
date because his grandfather was a
Tory in the Revolution"

SHABBY MAIN STREET.

The owners of the real estate in the
central part of the city are standing In
their own light by their refusal to i'm
prove their property. The two most
valuable blocks in town are occupied
almost exclusively by rattle-trap, tum-
ble-down shops and shanties which are
an eyesore to everybody. Whenever
fire occu:s in one of these miserable
buildings there are more expressions Of
rejoicing tnan of regret, and it is no IN
common thing to hear the mostupright
and laW-abiding citizens declare
that it would be benefit 70
the town if the flames would
devour such and such row OF stores,
the idea being that if the buildings were
out of the way better blocks would be
erected. Land that is worth $1,000 a
foot and would readily fetch that price
if offered for sale is occupied by rickety )
unsightly shanties which are worth no
more than the material of which they
are composed. The land owners will
neither sell their property nor improve
it, being content to collect the rent
which the location and not the build
ing commands. This dog-in-the-
manger policy has resulted in
the very best street in the city pre-
senting q shsbbier appearance than any
other in town. Another result OF this
lack OF enterprise will soon be seen in
the driving Of business from Main
Street, and the consequent depreciation
of land values on that popular thor
oughfare. This may be good thing
for other property owners, and for the
city generally, but it seems almost g
shame that the one street in which the
bulk of the business is concentrated,
and of which strangers see more than
they do of any other, should
present such a disgraceful appear
ance. If anything will give the
city a black eye, and discourage intend
ing investors, it is n ain Street with its
wretched buildings and generally IN
slightly, UnWholesome aspect. The
thanks of the public are due to the few |
enterprising men who have erected |
slightly, pretentious blocks on that |
street. There would be many more
such men if the non-progressive fogies
who own the land could be induced to
part with the soil at something like
reasonable prices.

INroLERABLE TYRANNY.

The other day a laborer wrote to
Mayor Hewitt of New York that other
laborers would not allow him to work
because he was not knight of Labor.
In reply tie mayor informed the poor
fellow that he could prosecute the con-
spIrators, but knowing that such a
course would be too expensive, said
further: You can only get justice
from employers by more courage on
their part than as rule they are willing
to show. They take risk of having
their business stopped by employing a
man who is under boycott. Very few
are in position to take this risk, even
if they were willing to do so. The re-
suit is that you are living under q state
Of tyranny which is intolerable but is
not without example III history" In
the light of this Estate of tyranny y
which all are more or less familiar with
and from which there is no relief, does
anybody wonder that the tendency
towards Anarchy is now and then
noticed2 Employers are frequently
censured, as Mayor Hewitt blames
them, for not showing more courage
and declaring themselves independent.
but in teo many instances they are alb
solutely powerlsss. Courage to do
what they know to be right, indepen-
dence to manage their own business in
their own way would simply ruin them,
for they could not stand Hp against the
boycotts which labor unions are capa-
bic of imposing. Once in a while an
employer can afford TO be brave and in
dependent, but only once III while. To
take on a boycotted laborer would,
in most cases, transfer the boy
colt to the employer. If
capable, willing men are denied en-
ployment, solely because they refuse
to unite with an organization that is
repulsive to them, who can blame them
if they become disconnected and COM
plain of a condition Of things which
compels them to starye, or forces them
to do things against which their ma
lures revolt? These men must feel
that there is something wrong in So
ciety which makes this Estate of tyran
ny" possible, and denies remedy. II
the natural discomfort did not some
times express itself in deeds of violence,
men would be more or less than human.
